What is recorded here

Mullaboy still holds a fallen standing stone from the uncertain prehistoric dark. It may have watched herds cross wet grass or marked a boundary nobody remembers. Gravity finished what time began, laying the stone flat beside the living field.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (fallen). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this fallen standing stone may have once been part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape. Its original purpose remains unclear, but such stones were often used for ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial markers in prehistoric societies.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
